Chugalug
Eat until your belly aches.
Drink until you drown.
Chugalug until you shrug: munch, wolf and bolt-down.
Dance until your feet recoil.
Flounce until you sway.
Boogie-hop until you drop: skip, bounce and sashay.
Act until your ruse explodes.
Play until you break.
Masquerade until you fade: snap, crack and forsake.
Run until your lungs collapse.
Sprint until you pant.
Hurry past until you cast: halt, shed and recant.
Sing until your voice abates.
Croon until you croak.
Yodel call until you crawl: hum, drone and invoke.
Live until your spirit quits.
Breathe until you tire.
Persevere until you cheer: clap, praise and admire.
